Jointly determining the point sources and obstacle from Cauchy data
share
A numerical method is developed for recovering both the source locations and the obstacle from the scattered Cauchy data of the time-harmonic acoustic field. First of all, the incident and scattered components are decomposed from the coupled Cauchy data by the representation of the single-layer potentials and the solution to the resulting linear integral system. As a consequence of this decomposition, the original problem of joint inversion is reformulated into two decoupled subproblems: an inverse source problem and an inverse obstacle scattering problem. Then, two sampling-type schemes are proposed to recover the shape of the obstacle and the source locations, respectively. The sampling methods rely on the specific indicator functions defined on target-oriented probing domains of circular shape. The error estimates of the decoupling procedure are established and the asymptotic behaviors of the indicator functions are analyzed. Extensive numerical experiments are also conducted to verify the performance of the sampling schemes.
